Air-to-Air Refueling Market Trends:
Driver: Increasing demand for air-to-air refueling systems to support overseas deployments
There has been an increase of air sorties flown for long distances away from carriers or ground bases, making refueling a necessary mission element. For instance, Asia Pacific is witnessing an increase in military bases being developed by foreign countries in the region. The US Department of Defense (DoD) anticipates China to establish additional military bases around the world because of its investments in the One Belt, One Road initiative, that was initiated in 2013. Currently, Beijing has one overseas military base in Djibouti but is expected to add more military bases in the coming years. India has also established itself as a strong military power, with its armed forces articulating the need to operate beyond the country’s immediate borders. In 2018, the country secured access to naval facilities in the Middle East, near the Strait of Hormuz. In the same year, India and Seychelles signed an agreement, valid for 20 years, to build an airstrip and a naval jetty on Assumption Island. Russia also plans to establish a long-term military presence in Latin America and the Middle East. In 2017, the country signed a long-term agreement to increase its military presence in Syria as well as secure rights to its airbase. This agreement enables Russia to deploy forces in Syria for the next 50 years. Thus, the demand for air-to-air refueling is expected to grow during the forecast period, as there is a need for air-to-air refueling to support the overseas deployment of military aircraft.
Restraint: Vulnerability against ground-based attacks
Large tanker aircraft, which serve as the source of fuel for air-to-air refueling operations, lack maneuverability and hence can be easily targeted by ground-based air defense systems. Though these aircraft are equipped with certain countermeasures such as flares, the large size of such aircraft render them susceptible to enemy fire, especially to ballistic missiles which can change its orientation and course according to its target. Furthermore, tanker aircraft are very heavy and slow moving as compared to the recipient aircraft, hence they may be vulnerable to enemy fire during an air-to-air refueling procedure, as both the donor and the recipient aircraft are required to maintain a certain speed and heading for the system to attach and transfer fuel. Such vulnerabilities restrict the use of such resources in highly contested spaces.
Opportunity: Development of autonomous refueling systems
The goal of autonomous refueling is to integrate manned and unmanned operations seamlessly. Hence, Automated Air-to-Air Refueling (A3R) will be designed to utilize the existing standardized voice command and control (C2) messages and procedures that are translated into data link messages that the UAV’s computer can process. According to the US Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC), A3R procedures will be developed to accommodate current manned AAR standards and procedures. In the case of UAVs, they can safely maintain flight and execute a maneuver by selecting a pre-defined action without supervision. In manned aircraft, capabilities to perform automated refueling are included, wherein the engagement process is expected to be an automated task, and the pilot would only monitor (safety observer). Currently, A3R is at its conceptual stage and various developments are carried out to introduce it in the market. However, for A3R to become a reality, more sophisticated control systems must be developed, including relative positioning systems, data link systems, and remote aerial vehicle operators.
Challenge: High installation and maintenance cost
Though air-to-air refueling is a technology aspired by several countries, the associated high cost oof installation and maintenance of a Multipoint Refueling System (MPRS) restricts its widespread adoption. Currently, a MPRS costs around USD 5 to 7 million per aircraft and accounts for around 5,000 to 7,000 labor hours. The average life of an air-to-air refueling tanker is 40-60 years, along with periodic maintenance and sizeable investment to maintain the tanker throughout its life. Further, when this tanker starts aging, the possibility of corrosion and material degradation sets in, thus increasing its maintenance costs. For instance, the US DoD decided to retire a part of its fleet of KC-135 aircraft due to increasing material degradation and maintenance costs. Technical expertise is also required to use and maintain the proper functioning of aerial refueling systems and ensure effective integration of system components. Highly skilled personnel are required to perform aerial refueling operations. An air-to-air refueling aircraft also requires extensive training to operate and comes with one of the most difficult flight maneuvers for a pilot. For instance, the tanker and receiver aircraft should be 35 feet apart during boom refueling and about 80 feet apart in hose and drogue refueling. The airflow around the tanker and the receiver aircraft is complex and makes maneuvering of the aircraft a challenge.
Air-to-Air Refueling Market Segmentation
Based on component, the fuel tank segment dominated market share throughout the forecast period
Based on component, the air-to-air refueling market is segmented into pumps, valves, nozzles, hoses, boom, probes, pods, fuel tanks, and others.
